c# - How to copy elements over a range in ArrayList

Copy the elements of a collection over a range of elements in an ArrayList
The ArrayList class implements the IList interface using an array whose size is dynamically increased as required. It is designed to hold heterogeneous collections of objects. ArrayList is not guaranteed to be sorted. The ArrayList capacity is the number of elements it can hold. Its capacity is automatically increased while adding elements. ArrayList elements can be accessed by index and it is zero-based. The ArrayList accepts null as a valid value and also allows duplicate elements.

The following .net c# tutorial code demonstrates how we can copy the elements of a collection over a range of elements in an ArrayList instance. Here we will use the ArrayList class SetRange() method to copy elements over a range of elements in the ArrayList object.

The ArrayList SetRange(Int32, ICollection) method copies the elements of a collection over a range of elements in the ArrayList. The order of the elements in the ICollection is preserved in the ArrayList. The ArrayList SetRange(int index, System.Collections.ICollection c) method has two parameters.

The index parameter is the zero-based ArrayList index at which to start copying the elements of c. And the c parameter is the ICollection whose elements to copy to the ArrayList. The collection itself cannot be null, but it can contain elements that are null.

The ArrayList SetRange(Int32, ICollection) method throws ArgumentOutOfRangeException if the index is less than zero or the index plus the number of elements in c is greater than Count. It throws ArgumentNullException if the c is null. The method also throws NotSupportedException if the ArrayList is read-only.

Restricting Jetpack Compose TextField to Numeric Input Only

Jetpack Compose has revolutionized Android development with its declarative approach, enabling developers to build modern, responsive UIs more efficiently. Among the many components provided by Compose, TextField is a critical building block for user input. However, ensuring that a TextField accepts only numeric input can pose challenges, especially when considering edge cases like empty fields, invalid characters, or localization nuances. In this blog post, we'll explore how to restrict a Jetpack Compose TextField to numeric input only, discussing both basic and advanced implementations. Why Restricting Input Matters Restricting user input to numeric values is a common requirement in apps dealing with forms, payment entries, age verifications, or any data where only numbers are valid. Properly validating input at the UI level enhances user experience, reduces backend validation overhead, and minimizes errors during data processing. Compose provides the flexibility to implement ...

jetpack compose - TextField remove underline

Compose TextField Remove Underline The TextField is the text input widget of android jetpack compose library. TextField is an equivalent widget of the android view system’s EditText widget. TextField is used to enter and modify text. The following jetpack compose tutorial will demonstrate to us how we can remove (actually hide) the underline from a TextField widget in an android application. We have to apply a simple trick to remove (hide) the underline from the TextField. The TextField constructor’s ‘colors’ argument allows us to set or change colors for TextField’s various components such as text color, cursor color, label color, error color, background color, focused and unfocused indicator color, etc. Jetpack developers can pass a TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors() function with arguments value for the TextField ‘colors’ argument. There are many arguments for this ‘TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors()’function such as textColor, disabledTextColor, backgroundColor, cursorC...

jetpack compose - Image clickable

Compose Image Clickable The Image widget allows android developers to display an image object to the app user interface using the jetpack compose library. Android app developers can show image objects to the Image widget from various sources such as painter resources, vector resources, bitmap, etc. Image is a very essential component of the jetpack compose library. Android app developers can change many properties of an Image widget by its modifiers such as size, shape, etc. We also can specify the Image object scaling algorithm, content description, etc. But how can we set a click event to an Image widget in a jetpack compose application? There is no built-in property/parameter/argument to set up an onClick event directly to the Image widget. This android application development tutorial will demonstrate to us how we can add a click event to the Image widget and make it clickable. Click event of a widget allow app users to execute a task such as showing a toast message by cli...
